I hope they join together and call themselves the trans-American health alliance because republicans will lose their minds having to refer to trans anything!

At first I thought that was a very tiny cow and I was really confused. Animals are amazing. Caring for the defenseless is a lesson humans can follow. We don’t even need to cross the species barrier. We can lift up each other!
So people without enough food or insufficient housing can just wait it out? This is the updated, let them eat cake!
I think it’s on purpose. Business leaders want us sick, poor, and desperate so we’ll do any job and accept any wage no matter how low. The billions trump family has received from businesses-I think it’s for that purpose.
Anything to do with trump is cheap and tawdry
I think Johnson would admit to being a robot if it would take the heat off his boss
Oh that’s what happened! Well dementia often grabs onto anything slightly familiar and since he got away with sending troops last time I guess he thinks a repeat is beneficial
I thought there were no files? Maybe I’m confused because republicans have changes their stories so many time. No way that narcissistic trump would go out on a limb for anyone.
Anyone who aligns with trump gets power for a little while, but in the end they are ruined. Their reputation is ruined. Their careers are dead. In Kennedy's case this is a very little while.
Also, is trump threatening to kill everyone in Pdx? “And when we go there, if we go to Portland, we’re going to wipe them out,” he said. “They’re going to be gone, and they’re going to be gone bad. They won’t even stand the fight. They will not stay there. They’re ruined. They’ve ruined that city.
This is such a weird photo to use for an article. To get a photo of some warehouses, you have to work hard to avoid getting the river that runs through the middle of the city, and Mt. Hood visible right behind it. It's trying to make PDX look as rundown as possible.
I really love how your sentence can be interpreted in multiple ways.
Well, sounds like there will be something going on in Portland after troops arrive.
It hurts to my soul that so many powerful people failed these children, and so many took advantage because they could.
I think the victims already said that. I think it was virginia giuffre who said trump knew what epstein was doing and did nothing to stop it. I think that's the minimum trump is guilty of-of knowing abuse of minors were happening and doing nothing to save them.
By entry level jobs for students...are you referring to on campus work? Most of that is actually part of a financial aid package. Or are you referring to internships? Otherwise, idk what you mean by a job for students. Every job isn't a family wage job, but it definitely should be living wage.
so....we're deporting people on the cusp of becoming american citizens, but we're allowing cartel family members to come in? Yep, this checks out. I wonder how much they had to pay for that. You don't get something for nothing with cheapo trump.
So, we're not longer going to abide by international law? Oh wait, my own government murdered trafficking victims earlier this week, so no, I don't think they are going to abide by international law. We all know this is because trump is in the Epstein files. Even a war won't distract from that.
Thank you so much for looking for unbiased information. Social Media is rife with people who don't do that. I agree with you that an entry level job isn't going to be enough for the stay at home spouse, 2.3 kids, and big house. But I think we both agree that living wages and healthcare are rights.
Well this is what happens when the dumbest people are put in charge. I think the White House normally contains smarter people but they’ve all been scared away or fired
Yes you’re right. Again corporations game the system. A friend used to work for a spice company that offered health insurance after 1000 hours so after 950 she got laid off until the new year. Another was a manager of a bookstore whose employees got a max of 37.5 hours a week.
It can be brainwashing, like the way Musk controls Grok, but it's also about graduating students who can't write powerfully, or persuasively. Who get AI to give summaries instead of reading. When anyone uses AI, research shows they are not critically thinking and those skills get rusty.
Oh, I know it's a lot more complicated, but difficult to convey that understanding in 300 characters. Yes, it's about benefits and also how so many employers game the state and federal mandates to ensure workers don't get benefits. But wages are the main factor because that's how you pay for things
WHAT THE HELL? Nothing good can come of sniper training for ICE. This is for protesters, I'm feel sure.
I mean, maybe he thinks it IS! Dementia makes you forget current stuff first and older stuff later, so it's possible that's where he is.
Yep. The state ends up supporting corporations that don't want to pay living wages. The state lets them get away with it too.
An old colleague said they turned down a job at walmart because in the interview they handed her brochures for all the programs she'd still qualify for with a full time job. It's corporations giving lower wage jobs and then taxpayers are on the hook for the rest.
But that's the point. It should be a living wage job. If the company can't operate like that, it should fold.
Every job should be a living wage job. If someone has to dedicate most of their life to something, it needs to be a living wage job. Anything less, is unacceptable.
I know, right? It's so shocking (not shocking at all).
The language in this makes my skin crawl.
They did sue. This kid is one of many. There's a new thing called AI psychosis too. Because AI tries to agree with you about everything, it's causing people to literally go insane. It's telling people that yes, their families are spying on them and out to get them and such.
Yes, this dude knows that AI wipes out critical thinking and that kids are using it to avoid learning how to write. I think it's a long con to degrade educational standards and it's really a way to weed out competition for their own kids to elite schools and jobs.
Don't be fooled by the I in AI. It's not intelligence. It's not doing any thinking. AI is giving you statistically what it thinks is the best answer to your question. It is programed to by sycophantic, agreeing with what you say. AI is essentially a much more massive version of predictive text.
No. this checks out to me. As has been said before, conversatives are so desperate to maintain their hold on the government that they've decided to embrace people who abuse children to get what they want.
I love the alt text.
How about we just turn it off?
I hate this when people decide those on benefits either don’t have the intelligence to avoid buying junk food or that they don’t want junk food purchased with gov’t funds. It’s not about the food. It’s about being able to control benefits users. Can we give up the surveillance state crap now?
This is how trump protects trump. He couldn’t be saying any louder that he is scared of what these women know
Well if trump is dangerous it is precisely because McConnell enabled that. I will never forgive him for his lies and manipulation and the damage he has done to America
What has happened to people? This man has lost his wife and his career and reputation in order to abuse another human. Why? Why be hateful? I just can’t understand why he would do this. It’s such a shame.
Go Wyden!
We killed victims of human trafficking. That’s horrific
He is clearly guilty if he needs to drown out their voices this badly. I wonder if this is what cause him to “not at all have a minor stroke” last week.
Oh good. That’s my other fear. That humans were being trafficked and we just killed victims too.
I keep wondering how they knew these people were drug smugglers and not so many other possibilities. How do we know for sure if no one contacted them. Unless trump hired them to smuggle drugs?
Wait a minute…is the point of this to keep kids with disabilities at home so they don’t die, but the school gets to spend a boatload less on special education?
Why don't dreamers have citizenship yet? To be a dreamer, you can't have committed a crime. If our country had a functioning system to become a citizen, we wouldn't be facing some of this garbage.
You know, this is why epstein attacked children. They can't speak out on their own. These are adult women now, survivors, and they are so brave to speak the truth to the world.
Yes, please! I've been wondering how much this fall's covid shots would cost in Canada.
Zero crime is using the same number system as drug prices coming down 1500%-meaning, trump doesn't understand how numbers work. No wonder he's had to declare bankrupcy so many times.
This is one of the most childish things I have ever seen.
The fact that anyone is OK with terrorizing this child is beyond belief. They must be OK with it because they did it.
I don't know. I do know that I had a student in my class who was 14 years old. He arrived by himself at 12 after watching his father's political assassination in Guatemala. He had to reach the only other relative he had who was in the United States. He did cross the border alone.
If they're working for trump, they aren't working for the people who elected them.
Well, trump said he didn't want to live in a third world country, but he sure is doing his darndest to make sure he creates one. Well, honestly, I've been to third world countries and everyone was vaccinated.
Ooh that’s how fascists do it! Any questions about the plan become a question of patriotism.
I see no lies here. This happens in corporations too. They don’t hire a woman until everyone knows they’re going under and if she manages to save it she gets fired. The data is there. America trusts the worst men more than the best women. More than any woman.
His argument is he got 3 vaccines & his kids got boatloads! That's evidence of improvement & advancing science. There is nothing fraudulent about it. I'm old enough that I had chickenpox so I have to get another vaccine to prevent shingles. Kids today won't get chicken pox & can't get shingles.
I wonder if this stupid decision was only based on providing an excuse for trump to get in front of people and prove he isn't incapacitated.
The Epstein Files must be really bad for trump and he definitely had a stroke if he's willing to murder people in order to distract from these things.
9 people? That's all it takes to move him? How about we feature 9 people on TV who are devestated to lose their healthcare. 9 people living in nursing homes whose families are devestated they're losing their medicare/medicaid? Yes, we need help, but not the kind the miliary is offering.
Did he walk in on his own or did reporters come to the room and he was there?
anyone else notice his frown is now uneven? It's deeper on his right than on his left.
Was this post deleted? I can't find it on the poster's site and you don't link to it directly.
Ok, in this video when he compares the photo from January and the photos from recently, trump looks so much worse and so much heavier. Congestive heart failure causes people to gain weight quickly. Frighteningly quickly.
This makes me sad. He was an amazing actor.
Sadly those can go for years. My grandmother had 7 years of TIAs before passing but each one loses you a little mobility, a little less cognition, a little less overall function. I too think he’s had a stroke and they’re covering it up hoping he can recover enough to pass it off as a quiet weekend
Omg! The thing about rabies is by the time you show signs you’re going to die. There are no symptoms until close to death. That is what makes it so frightening. Also, dogs don’t get autism so that’s just so dumb I can’t even…
He's wearing the jacket he was carrying two days ago and the only thing that's changed is his hat. The shirt looks the same too.
I think this family knows they're on borrowed time and they're trying to rake in everything they can until their meal ticket kicks the bucket.
I bet that really would be an occasion for her to smile.
yes, it does look like a witch's hat. I have no idea.
or fortunate!
What Maga can't handle is a judiciary that looks like America.
Thank you Judge Sparkle! I don't think I'm ever going to get tired of saying that :)
So, in an earlier article that I read, there was at least one teenager with a baby. Is that baby American? Is this another case of the US deporting an immigrant, in this case a child, along with a US citizen?
Remember when he had his colonoscopy during his first administation? He refused to use anasthesia because he didn't want pence to be president for even 1 minute. I would hesitate to select surgery because it is supposed to be declared, but in these times....
HAHAHAHAHA
I don't blame them though. If my parent went that far down the maga rabbit hole, I too would pretend I didn't have parents.
this one makes sense! He wasn't the driver, wasn't involved in the DV issue, and was randomly rear-ended. His people couldn't have written this more suspiciously if they tried.
Imagine having so few family & friends willing to deal with you that they have to call your business partner to come to the hospital.
Don't forget their huge bonuses for deporting your quota. Imagine caring so little about other humans that you deport kids to get your bonus. How can they look at their own kids after that? I'm being serious. How can they look at their kids & not see the ones they made it easy to traffic or abuse?
I was livid when I discovered that underage asylum seekers did not get lawyers in court with them. I can't imagine looking at a toddler and deciding to deport them. That's just pure evil to me. Deporting children is evil. Some are escaping domestic violence.
I've been wondering if they're holding off declaring him dead until labor day to try to spin him as some kind of hero of the common person.
I learned to do my own taxes when I started my first job at 16. It was absolutely wild to me that income from work was taxed at 33% (for a poor high school student) and income from investment was 20-25%. That's when I figured out the government hated the working class. That's w/o fancy accounting.
I've seen this play out for years now. Align with trump and your career is dead.
I plan on it! Thanks for sharing!
I'm sorry, Sparkle? Thank you for sharing her first name!
This is not the first time I've seen random recipies in the comments of news articles, and I like it!
Well, seems an easy fix. Join a union, start a union, vote to affiliate with a union. Unions make America great for everyone, not just the wealthy.
There must be repercussions for those who defy the courts. Otherwise, they'll do it again because they've gotten away with it.
I'm pleased so many others are calling them out too. Yeah, I didn't expect it.
I hate it when news sites, even ones I love, repeat untruths.
I love this. This is how we defeat the authoritarians, with joy and dance and art!
Yes, it’s stories like that that made me think insurance should be non-profit. Also weirdly readers digest. Sometime in the 80’s they ran a story about hemophilia not being covered because it was considered cosmetic. That is the one that placed my staunchly in the corporate insurance is evil camp.
I’m sorry. I know there are some allies but the daily interactions would beat me down too much.
Is it even true that he whistled? I thought she admitted later that it was false.
But, what are those troops going to be doing in between being needed as "quick reaction force?" picking up trash? This really reminds me of quartering of military with civilians before the revolutionary war. It was done because it was cheaper and to keep an eye on folks. They're playing with fire.
Those are my favorite steps.
